I also have the same problem with my Asus X550L. Speakers work, internal microphone is useless-quiet. Alsamixer has microphone turned on and at 81%, no boost. Auto mute is disabled.
Using headphones with a built in microphone I get a good recording with plenty of volume. Using Audio Recorder to record sounds played through my browsers does not work. Running Ubuntu 16.10 If I boot to Windows 7 it all works fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1341890 Title: [X550LA, Realtek ALC3236, Mic, Internal] No sound at all To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1341890/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
